Green Computing

The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification is an open standard operating system-centic device configuration and power management. You can easily reduce your PC’s power consumption through smart activity monitors.

With the tools and code presented, you can reduce your power consumption through a series of rules regarding application usage. After tuning your kernel, hdparm, ACPI, and CPU settings, add these application monitors to more effectively enter your low-power states.
